Supply And Demand

Hey guys perhaps the price drop has got something to do with the law of supply and demand????

Anyway had a chance to have a look at some of these yellow worms for sale at URS yesterday(christmas gathering) and they all have belly full so they must be feeding well already

Here's a few pics a took of their newly built premises(Perhaps just a quarter of it) and a couple of Hot womas

Yes you are correct, with the down turn in the economy and not enough new people getting into reptiles the only way is down in pricing. The demand for all reptiles is not what it us to be and with plenty to supply I can assure you there will be some bargains to be had in all species this coming season.

when i got my first snake adn I started getting more knowledge, I said to myself one day, "i would love to have a GTP but they're too expensive". looks like now I and others can actually afford them now...

And the ever increasing power rates

I'm not sure I totally agree with that Tim, as I understand it the rate of newcomers into the hobby is quite large, especially in some States. I think a few factors have influenced the sudden drop in the price of Greens, first and foremost is that large numbers are being bred AND at the same time by all accounts a very large number have been making their way into the country (I'm not talking dozens either). Combined with a restricted market by virtue of license restrictions and their high price before this season we see a bit of a bottleneck where supply is outstripping demand. With the more sensible prices now being asked we will see many many people buying them.

Could not agree more !!!
The demand for the " standard " Diamond, jungle, bredli.stimmie etc is more than ever I feel.
Newbie's on class 1 licence are chasing the above all the time.
Here in NSW, the new licence no's hand out are mind blowing.
You keep your prices fair and reasonable and they will sell.
Cheers,
Aleks.

Haha, I think i'll stick to a Carpet for my first snake..:?

I think it is great. With huge prices there is always the risk of undesirables poaching them. Now with a price drop, they will become more available and lessen the chances of them being poaced.

Coodos to you URS, well done.
